Whether the persons returned at these advanced ages have had their length 
of life accurately stated, is questionable ; but even on the supposition that they 
had all reached their eightieth year, it is interesting to observe that the term of 
life in Ireland has, in so many cases, been prolonged beyond the period usually 
allotted to human existence. 

In 1841 the proportion of females to 1,000 males was 1,034 ; in 1851 it was Proportion of 
1,000 males to 1,054 females, thus presenting an increase of 20 in the 1,000, or 2 Femalcs t0 MaIes - 
per cent, in the ratio of the female to the male population. On comparing the 
proportion of males to females under 30 years old, it appears that in 1851 the

sexes were nearly equal, the rate being 1,000 males to 1,006 females;' but the 
relative number of the sexes, “ 30 years old and upwards,” shows a great increase 
in the proportion of females, the rate being 1,000 males to 1,146 females.

x CENSUS OF IRELAND FOR THE YEAR 1851. 

From the foregoing table it will be seen that in each of the cities and large 
tbwfts the excess of females over males was greater than in the counties ;. probably 
owing to many .females from the rural districts having migrated into the cities 
and towns in search of employment. ••..•J-j 

In compiling the general tables, the divisions of ages have been made to 
correspond with the divisions in the tables of the Census of Great Britain, as 
this arrangement is considered by eminent statists to be preferable to that in 
which the. tenth year is made the last and not the first of the decennial, period. 
Thus, instead of the divisions being 1 to 10, — 11 to 20,-21 to 30, &c., they are 
now given as— 1 and under 10,-10 and under 20,-20 and under 30,’ &c. 

It has also been considered advisable to publish the ages of the population in 
quinquennial periods for each barony, and all towns of upwards! of 2,000 inhabi- 
tants, with a view to render the tables of more local as well as general practical 
value than those which have been published in connexion with any former 
Census of Ireland. 

With regard to the causes of the diminution in the population, and the 
extraordinary variations which appear in the proportional numbers at each a<*e’ 
in 1841 and 1851, it is impossible to do more than attribute them generally 
to the calamities which befel Ireland in 1845 and the four or five subsequent 
years, — owing to the want of a general system of registration of births, deaths 
and marriages for this country, similar to that which has existed in England since 
the year 1837, and which was extended to Scotland in 1854. • • 

To this Report is appended a map, (plate I.,) showing by degrees’ of shading 
the localities in which the population is more or less numerous. In compiling it 
the same plan has been followed as in that published in the Census of 1841 which 
was thus explained by the Commissioners :— 

“ The figures under the towns indicate their population, and the figures in 
the body of the map the [average number to the square mile of the! population 
« g the -Jocalities ™ tbm wbieb tlle 7 axe placed. The population of the towns has 
been deducted before taking the averages, a precaution which, we thought 
.. pessary, though We believe it has not been usually done, so that the shading 
only exhibits the rural population. It will be seen that the greater portion 
of Ireland does not contain a higher average than 200 to the square mile 
„ tbe c | eductl °n of towns, while it avoids a great source of inaccuracy, does 
not whoily remove it, as when towns are excluded, a limit must be drawn. 
t( . ba 7® A ■ t n , °. f cours h tba J already explained, as marking our civic district — 

^ viz., 2,000 inhabitants; but there are many towns very little below this limit- 
and in such cases, especially when two or more happen to lie together the 
■rural population appears more dense than it really is. An instance of this 
u P a 7 be see ? m tbe southern portion of the county of Leitrim where there 
« yrT-fr™ ab ° V T ! 2 ’ 0 ? 0 1 1 nhabitai ? ts - But tbe towns of Carrick-on-Shannon and 
u approaching to that number, are retained, in the rural population. That 

distnct, accordingly, appears more densely peopled than it probably will in ten 
years more, when the towns may be expected to contain more than 2 000 A 
„ 5 as + e °? cu f m the district around Clonakilty. These anomalies however

REPORT ON AGES AND EDUCATION. 



Education;. 



--'For ihe -purpose of ascertaining the State, of education of each individual of 
the population— as had been done by the Census Commissioners in 1841— a 
PoltifflA was inserted in the Family Return,* in which the person filling, the 
form was required to state, with regard to each person in. the house, whether 
ho or she could “ Read,” “Read and Write,” or “Cannot Read.’ It was 
not sought to inquire further into the degree of the education of the people, - 
although it would, no doubt, have been most desirable to know the numbers .who 
Oould speak or write any foreign language, as there would thus be afforded a 
means of classifying the educated . portion of the people into several, grades, 
accordino- to their recorded literary acquirements— an important point at this 
period, when so much laudable exertion is being made towards raising the 
Standard ofeducation in these countries— and also of comparing, from time to 
time the progress of superior as well as of primary education. The information, 
however, contained in the. tables published with this Report, is of a most valuable 
kind, as it enables us to trace the progress which education has made m Ireland 

durino- the period which has elapsed since the Census taken in 1841. 

OiA comparison of the numbers who conld neither read nor. write m 1851, 
with; those returned in 1841, it is gratifying to observe that there is a diminution and 185L 
of the io-riorant amounting to four per cent, of males and eight per cent, of females. 

It was scarcely to be expected that the proportions of the umnstrueted would 
have decreased, even to this extent, between 1841 and 1851; as during that 
period the country was visited with several years of famine, and its attendant 
calamities, which have always a decided tendency to retard the. progress of edu- 
cation. Many of the children of those classes who would, under ordinary circum- 
stances, be engaged in mental culture, are, in such times of distress, obliged to 
assist in procuring the absolute necessaries of life, instead of attending to their 
education ; and the remuneration usually given to the teacher is applied to the: 
relief of physical wants. When periods of famine, such as have been felt in 
Ireland pass awav, it is no small satisfaction to find that in a few years, educa- 
tion is found not merely in the position to which it had previously attained, but, 
under very discouraging circumstances, to have made some progress. 

Amongst the additional means of advancing the education of the ; mhabdants Ii;c™d means 
of Ireland, which have arisen or have been greatly extended between 1841 and betweM1 1M lod 
1861, we may mention the largely augmented parliamentary grants tor the 1851 . 
purposes of National . Education, which for 1841 amounted to £67,000, and m 

1861 was increased' to £104,677— the number of National Schools and pupils 

under the Board having nearly doubled in the period between these years ; the 
receipts of the “Church Education Society,” and of other ; associations ior the 
education of the poor of the country, have also considerably increased during the 
same period.. These are no unimportant testimonies to the steady progress of 
education in Ireland, when we bear in memory the decrease of the population which 
took place during the same period. W orkhouse Schools have been established 
and made available for the instruction of a class which, without such aid would 
probably never receive even the elements of education The number of chi - 
dren in attendance at these schools, during the week ended 12th April, 1861, as 
returned oil the school-forms, amounted to 80,600, or nearly 16 per cent, of the 
entire number under instruction in Ireland. Much advantage must arise to the 
community from the instruction imparted ill these institutions, as the children ol 
the poorest class are thus enabled to qualify themselves for advancement ; in i the 
social scale. In several districts Industrial and Ragged Schools have been 
established, which have had a very beneficial effect wherever 
operation • the number of these and the pupils m attendance on them, however, 
appear to have been small at the time the Census was taken. 

The means of extending superior education have been greatly enlarged by tne 
establishment of the Queen's Colleges, under the Act 8 & 

1846 ; and of the Queen's University, which has been founded in c°™exi° n 
with them These Colleges, situated at Belfast, Cork, and Galway, afford the ad- 
vantages of collegiate education combined with the attainment Untversity 
honors and degrees to persons whose circumstances did net allow of thejr educa- 
tion at other Universities. The Roman Catholic College of Maynooth has been 
enabled since 1845, by an enlarged parliamentary grant, to provide accommoda- 
Sh for an increased number of students. Schools of Design mded.by he Ari-eduction. 
State have been established, by which it is confidently hoped a- knowledge of the 
Fine Arts will be gradually diffused among the people ; and an acquaintance witn

REPORT ON AGES AND EDUCATION. xiU 

There is only one county— Londonderry— in which, according to the returns, 
the relative number of ignorant appears to have been greater in 1851 than in 
1841 and the increase was confined to the male portion of the population. It 
is however, remarkable, that some of the cities and large towns showed a retro- 
grade movement, or were, at least, stationary in regard to education; this will be 
seen from the following table: —

We have not the means of showing the state ot eeucat on o.«ww 
nor are we able to give the number or degrees of education of the persons who tanco in lowns . 
had left the towns ; we may, however, reasonably suppose that the principal cause 
of this great increase of migration into the civic districts was the want of 
employment in the rural districts during the years of suffering And as it is the 
poorer classes who move about from place to place in search of occupation, and 
who at the same time form the great proportion of the illiterate in all communi- 
ties; we may conclude that this large immigration was the principal cause of the 

increase in the numbers' of the ignorant in towns. , . 

Notwithstanding that in all the Counties-with the exception of the male 
population of Londonderry, as before noticed— the proportionate total number 
of the ignorant have decreased, yet it is remarkable that at the educational age an 
increase in these numbers appears to have taken place in several cases ; thus,

Increase of igno- 
rance at certain 
ages. 



CENSUS OP IRELAND FOR THE YEAR 1851. 

Counties of Carlow, Longford, Wexford, Clare, Limerick, Tipperary, Waterford 
Londonderry, and Leitrim, have fallen in the scale of education since 1841 as 
regards the male population. The females, however, of the same class, have 
advanced in education, in all the counties, with the exceptions of Carlow and 
Londonderry. In the class of ages from “ 1 6 to 25” there has been a remarkable 

increase in the proportion of males who cannot either read or write Dublin 

Kilkenny, Louth, Cork, . Waterford, Donegal, Monaghan, Galway, Mayo, Ros- 
common, and Sligo, being the only counties which show a decrease in the 
relative numbers of illiterate males at these ages. The females of this class 
however, have not only held their educational position,' but have advanced in 
a very satisfactory degree in every county. The increase in ignorance between 
the age's of sixteen and twenty-five may be attributed, in some degree, to the fact 
that a larger proportion .of persons was found to be living, at this -period of life 9 
in 1851, than there was in 1841, who, forming a part of that number which was 
returned as ignorant in the latter, year, will, probably, in every successive Census 
diminish the proportion of the educated in the decade of ages to which they 
belong, until finally removed from the population. At other ages there has not 
been any- remarkable increase in the number of ignorant persons. The aees 
at which the population have not advanced in education since 1841, and the 
increase per cent, of the ignorant, are exhibited in the following table

REPORT ON AGES AND EDUCATION. . ;xv 

A decrease in the number of. ignorant of both sexes, between the ages of Jive Ed^oawon. 
and ten years, has taken place in every county and town, although it. will be 
hereafter seen, from the tables showing the number under instruction, that 
there was a large proportion at these ages not attending school at the time 
of taking the School Census. A favourable diminution in the proportion of 
ignorant at other ages, is also shown in several of the counties and towns, as 
will appear from the following table : —

In order to exhibit, pictorially, the state of education over the entire kingdom, 
we herewith present a map, (plate II.,) similar to that which accompanied the 
lteport of the Census Commissioners in 1841, and shaded on the same principle .; 
the population of towns containing 2,000 inhabitants and upwards has been 
omitted ; the degrees of shading therefore refer to the ignorant of the rural popu- 
lation only. In our general report, similar maps for “ House Accommodation” 
and “ Property,” will be published, which will show very forcibly the connexion 
between defective education; inferior dwellings; and deficiency of property ; also 
that much remains yet to be effected in order to afford to the illiterate the means 
of instruction, and to induce them to make efforts for the improvement of their 
dwellings, — a matter of much importance to the prosperity of the country; for 
with the progress of the humbler classes, the general wealth must be increased, 
and the happiness and well-being of the people greatly promoted. 

On comparing the map having reference to education with that showing the 
amount of population to the square mile, it will be seen that as the number to the 
square mile decreases, the proportion of the ignorant increases ; thus along the 
western coast of Ireland, (the most thinly inhabited portion of the country,) the 
number of persons to the square mile ranges, for several miles inland, from 25 to 
200, whilst the proportion of those who can neither read nor write' in the same dis- 
trict varies from 63 to 88 per cent. Omitting the population of the towns, as before 
mentioned, it appears that the least number of persons to the square mile is to be 
found in the north-west portion of the county of Donegal, and the greatest in 
the neighbourhood of Kingstown in the county of Dublin : — the proportion of 
ignorant in these cases being 51 in the former and 30 per cent, in the latter. Not 
only do the provinces vary from each other in the degree of education of their 
respective inhabitants, but the relative proportions in the counties in the same pro- 
vince fluctuate considerably; even in the same county, one portion exhibits a much 
greaterdegree of ignorance than another. Thus the province of Leinster falls below 
Ulster, whilst it takes a higher position in the proportion of the educated than 
Munster or Connaught ; and in Leinster, the county of Dublin, and 'portions of 
Carlow and Kildare (adjoining counties), show a higher degree of education than the 
other counties of that province. The fluctuations in the same county also are in 
some instances remarkable : thus, the county of Down ranges from 9 per cent, 
uneducated in the vicinity of Bangor, to 42 per cent, near Kilkeel. Similar 
variations occur, in all the counties, though not to such an extent.

CENSUS OF IRELAND FOR THE YEAR 1851. 



Education. In 1841 the progress of education in Ireland, from the year 1741, was m- 
— : — r vestigated by the Census Commissioners, and useful and ingenious diagrams, 

Diagram showing exhibiting its course from that remote period, were published with their 

Edu?atfonfro°m report. In the tables of education for 1851, a like method has been pursued, 

1758 . which, enables us to giv.e similar tables showing “ how far, upon this principle,. 

an advance has been made in education since 1.758, as denoted by the portion of 
the community five years old and upwards, who can neither read nor write, dis- 
tinguishing the male from, the female population. The figures at .the head of the 
table denote the years during which the persons now alive were within the 
educational age, and the side columns contain a scale showing the proportion 
per cent, of this class, indicated by the position of the lines in the interior - 
columns. The thick lines represent; males, and the thin, females.” 




The diagram may be read . thus Of persons living in Ireland on the 30th 
of March, 1851, who were Of the ages of 5 to 15 years — the assumed educa- 
tional period — between 1758 and 1767, there were 41 per cent, of males, and 60 
per cent, of females, in the Civic — and 53 per cent, of males, and 73 per cent. -of 
females, in the Rural Districts, who could neither read nor write; of persons 
who were of the ages- of 5 to 15- years, between 1768 and 1777, there were 36 
per cent, of males, and 56 per cent, of females, in the Civic — and 48 per cent, of 
males, and 71 per cent, of females, in the Rural Districts, who could neither 
read nor write ; and so of the other columns in the table. The; cause of the 
depression of the lines in the period between 1841 and 1851, is to be attributed 
to the large proportion of ignorant persons between the ages of 5 and 10 years. 
Proportion of The proportion per cent, of males and females, living in Ireland at the time 

ignorant living in of taking the Census in 1841 and 1851, who could neither read nor write, and

-The persons who thus represent the degree of education of the people at the Educate. 
periods mentioned, are only the survivors now living in Ireland of the years 
specified. This disturbing cause should be borne in mind, when considering the 
value of these diagrams, as the emigration from this country has been very con- 
siderable in amount during the last ten years.

As. regards the ages at which the largest number of illiterate persons is to be 
found, it is worthy of observation that it is not at the later periods of life that 
ignorance prevails to the greatest extent, but at the earlier ages ; thus taking 
the assumed educational period of from “5 to 15’ years, it appears that of the 
total number returned as unable to read or write, so high as thirty-eight per- 
cent. are between these ages ; and at the period embracing the ages from sixteen

to thirty-five, there were thirty per cent, of the ignorant living; thus there were 
sixty-eight per cent, of the total number of uninstructed persons between the ages 
of five and thirty-five, leaving thirty-two per cent, of them to be distributed 
between the ages from thirty-six upwards. 

The proportion per cent, of the ignorant at each age is shown in the following 
table, by Provinces, and for all Ireland : — ■

CENSUS OF IRELAND FOR THE YEAR 1851. 



The proportion per cent, of the ignorant, by counties, and at each age, is given in 
the Appendix, Table 6, page xxxviii. 

The number and ages of persons attending school during the week ended 
12th April, 1851, having been ascertained on a special form (see Appendix, 
page lvi), we have given the results of the Returns by counties and provinces. 
The schools are divided into “Primary” and “Superior,” and those in the rural 
are distinguished from those in the civic districts. In the division into primary 
and superior schools, the latter are those in which a foreign language was taught, 
and the former those in which an English education only was given — the same 
distinctions being adhered to as in the Census of 1841. From these Returns 
it appears that during the week referred to there were 504, 4 65. persons, of all 
ages receiving instruction in schools in Ireland, of whom 270,778 were males 
and 238,687 females; the number in attendance on schools during the 'week 
ended the 6th of June, 1841, as returned by the Census Commissioners, was 
502,950; there was, therefore, an increase in 1851 of 1,515 persons' in the total 
number attending school ; and taking into account the greatly diminished popu- 
lation, this shows a gratifying increase in the proportion under education. 
Of the entire population in 1841, 61 in every 1,000 were attending school, whilst 
in 1851 there were 76 in every 1,000. The week for which the school returns 
were filled up having been that immediately preceding Easter, some of the 
schools had been closed for vacation ; in order, however, to guard against error 
from this cause, we required returns of the average attendance of the pupils in 
such cases during the week prior to the closing of the schools. 

The number attending superior schools in 1851, was 18,502; in 1841, there 
were 27,391 of both sexes in attendance on such establishments, being a diminu- 
tion of 8,889, or 32 per cent, between 1841 and 1851. 



The population, the number attending and not attending school, and the pro- 
portion per cent, of the latter are given in the following table, for each age from 
five to fifteen years : —

REPORT ON AGES AND EDUCATION. xxv 



As regards the Queen’s Colleges, we regret to say, we only received Returns 
of the attendance of Students from one of them,— that of Galway; the authorities 
of the remaining two, Belfast and Cork, we suppose from some misapprehension 
of what was necessary, omitted to furnish the required information though written 
to by us upon the subject. 

The following table shows the number of schools in each county, the number 
of persons between five and fifteen years of age, in attendance during the week 
ended 12th of April, 1851, the population between the same ages, and the average

school forms, it appears that a much larger number was attending school 
according to the Family Returns. The difference between the two returns may 
be accounted for by supposing that heads of families returned their children as 
“ attending school,” though they might not have been in attendance on that day. 
That their children were not in attendance at the ordinary day schools on the 
30th of March, 1851,— the date fixed by the Act 13 & 14 Vic., c. 44, for talcing 
the Census, — will be evident, when it is remembered that that date was Sunday ; 
some, however, of the number may have been returned, because they were in 
attendance at Sunday schools. If we suppose that those who were returned in 
each family as “ attending school,” were receiving instruction, either at home, or 
as pupils on the “ rolls” of some of the schools of the country, the two returns 
will afford distinct heads of information : the School Return showing the average 
attendance of pupils during one week, and the Family Return the number of 
persons under instruction, either at home or at school, on one particular day of 
the year 1851. 

The number in each county attending school, as shown by school and family 
returns respectively, was as under : —

be added, in the Education Column, to the name of each person who spoke that Population. 
language only ; and the words “ Irish and English” to the names of those who 
could speak both of these languages. The following table gives a summary, by 
Counties and Provinces, of the total numbers of those who could speak Irish, 
including those who also spoke English. The subject will be treated of more 
fully in our General Report, now in progress, accompanied by tables showing, in 
detail, the information extracted from the Census Returns : —

In concluding our Report on the subject of Ages and Education, we beg to Conclusion, 
take the opportunity of congratulating your Excellency on the progress which the 
Returns show has been made in the education of the people during the eventful 
period since 1841 ; and although it is evident that much remains to be done to 
overcome the ignorance still prevailing, especially in some of the less improved 
parts of the country, yet, it is encouraging to find that even in remote districts 
ignorance has diminished during a period which, for affliction and calamity, is 
unparalleled in the annals of Ireland, and which resulted in diminishing the 
population during the course of little more than six years, to such an extent 
that in 1851 it was actually less than in 1821 — thirty years previously. 



W e have the honour to remain 
Your Excellency’s 

Very faithful and obedient servants,

The Census Commissioners beg leave most earnestly to entreat the Heads of Families 
to see that the several Queries contained in this sheet are distinctly and accurately filled 
up, since upon the accuracy of the answers given the value of the Census must mainly 
depend. As the information thus obtained will be published in General Abstracts only, 
and strict care taken that the Returns arc not used for the gratification of curiosity, or any 
other object than perfecting the Census, the Commissioners feel that on National grounds,— 
apart from the requirements of the Act of Parliament, — they are warranted in making this 
appeal to the Heads and the various Members of Families to aid them in their important 
inquiries, as it is of the deepest interest to ascertain with all possible accuracy, the exact 
numbers and condition of the population of Ireland at the present time.

2nd TABLE. 

Return of the Members of this Family whose Home is in this House, but who were Absent on the night of, &c. 




Instructions for Filling these Tables. 



It is intended that the Enumerator shall call for this Return as soon as possible after the 
nio-ht of the 30th March, when he will assist such persons as may not bo able to fill it 
themselves But when competent, it is requested that the Head of the Family shall fill, 
or cause it to be filled, immediately after the said night, in order that the Enumerator 
may not be delayed when he calls for it. 

This Return is divided into Three Tables. „ , . 

The 1st TABLE is for those persons of each Family, the Visitors, and {servants, who 
slept or abode in the same house on the night of Sunday, the 30th March. 

By a Family is meant cither one person living on his or her own means of support, or 
several persons united under one head, and having a common means of support;— therefore 
when there are several Families in one house, a separate Form will be left for each. 

Occupations.— In order to arrive at a correct classification of the employment cf the 
people, attention is requested to the following observations :— -nix. 

One general principle which should be kept in mind is, that each person will be best 
described to whose name is annexed his or her principal means of support : thus, “ Landed 

Proprietor,” “House Owner,”— “ Fund” or “Stock Holder,”— “ Annuitant,” &c., will 

best define’ the more independent classes, whose principal means arc derived from any of 
these or similar sources. , , v ' .. , 

Professions. — A person deriving his. income from a profession should state its particular 
nature • and professional men who are occupied with other avocations, should define their

liv 



CENSUS OF IRELAND FOR THE YEAR 1851. 



present employment. Clergymen should be described according to their Rank or Station ; 
Barristers and Attorneys, whether they practice ; Medical men, what branch of the pro- 
fession they follow ; Military and Naval Officers, retired from the service, should give 
their rank, also adding the terms “ Retired Officer Artists to mention the particular Art 
which they pursue. 

Merchants should state the particular trade in which they are engaged, and Shopkeepers 
are to observe the same rule. In reference to writing Clerks, it is desirable that the 
description should show the duty of the office, as “ Clerk in Public Office ,” — “ Law 
Clerk,” — “ Clerk in Com Merchant's Office,” &c. 

Manufacturers, Tradesmen, and Apprentices.— The particular branch of Manufacture with 
which each is connected should be stated : thus, a weaver of silk should be distinguished 
from a weaver of any other kind of material, by describing him as a “ Silk Weaver; in a 
similar manner a “ Woollen Weaver,” a “ Linen Weaver,” &c. This rule is to be also 
observed with respect to every other trade: as “ Brass Founder” or '‘Iron Founder,”— 
“ House Carpenter,” or “ Ship Carpenter "—“House Painter,” or “ Carnage Painter,” &c. 

Servants and Labourers employed in Agricultural W orks should be distinguished, from 
those occupied in other ways, by stating the particular kind of Work in which each indivi- 
dual is engaged, as “ Ploughing “ Sowing Oats” or “ I lax “ Drainage Labourer ; 

“ Mason’s Labourer ;” “ Railway Labourer,” &c. ; and in the case of Household Servants, 
by giving their occupations. tit i 1 

Education.— In addition to the elementary acquirements in the English Language asked 
for under this head, information is also sought for with regard to the Irish Language, in 
order to ascertain the localities where, and the number of persons by whom, it is now spoken. 

Deaf and Dumb, or Blind —Particular inquiry is now for the first time made m this 
country as to the number and condition of the Deaf and Dumb, and the Blind, in the hope 
that public attention may be more strongly directed to the wants of the poorer classes in 
Ireland who are thus afflicted. Those persons only are to be returned as Blind, who are 
quite deprived of sight. . 

The 2nd TABLE is necessary in order to ascertain the number of persons belonging to 
each Family whether present or absent on the night of the 30th March. The absent 
members, if in Ireland, will of course be counted for the General Enumeration in the houses 
where they may happen to pass that night. 

The 3rd TABLE is for a Return of those persons who have Died while residing with 
this Family, during the last Ten years. The necessity for this is caused by the want of a 
General Registration of Deaths in Ireland, and consequently a defect of information for 
various objects useful to the community. These Tables, however, will only show the Deaths 
which have occurred during the last Ten Years in the families now in existence.. 

It is particularly requested that this Return may not be soiled or in any way injured. 

When the Members of a Family are too numerous for one Form, two or more will be 
supplied. . . , 

The Enumerator, on receiving this Return, is on no account to permit it to be inspected 
by any other person, except the Officer of the District, to whom he is instructed to deliver it.
